Default Driver/Passenger Door Issue ?

Been experiencing issue for opening the doors on 07 Z06. Fob batteries have been replaced numerous times thought perhaps that was the issue. Sometimes door opens, sometimes if held for longer period, Have had to use trunk access on occasion. Car battery is old but kept on trickle charger, car fires up immediately. Any knowledgeable people out there before searching internet or dealer? Thanks

More details needed. Is this a problem just with pressing the fob buttons, or is it with the external pressure pads, or both? What exactly are you doing that doesn't open the doors?

I had a similar problem with one of my doors. I replaced the door latch and problem solved. Total investment was $17 and 5 minutes of time.

Amazon Amazon

I also understand the latch can be disassembled and cleaned, but for $17 it wasn't worth the effort for me. YMMV

apparently if you can not open it from either the outside or inside then its the door latch assembly which still makes me curious because you should still be able to use the emergency latches?

Is it a state secret or can you share it with the rest of us?

Missed your edit somehow but I guess all's well.

Common c6 issue, luckily it is a simple fix by way of the solutions above! Had the same issue soon after I bought mine. Glad you got it fixed!
